Problem

The SPL Token program allows enabling NonTransferable and ConfidentialTransferMint together without requiring ConfidentialMintBurn, creating an incoherent configuration. The mint appears to support confidential functionality, but deposits into confidential balances always fail due to the non-transferable restriction, and confidential balances cannot be properly managed without the mint-burn extension. This leads to misleading token configurations that can never function as expected. This reflects a design flaw that can mislead users about what the token is actually capable of.

Summary of Changes

Added the combination NonTransferable and ConfidentialTransferMint without ConfidentialMintBurn to the disallowed set of extension combinations.
